6 former Vikings draft picks who might be done in the NFL
By Adam Carlson
Xavier Rhodes, CB – First round in 2013
Another first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings, Xavier Rhodes had a rough start to his career in the NFL but eventually found his groove under Mike Zimmer and entered conversations about being a shutdown corner.
Some of his best games came against elite NFL receivers. putting him in the spotlight and adding to his reputation. However, that reputation is questionable now that he is still a free agent and there haven’t been rumors of him getting any interest.
In two seasons with the Colts, Rhodes had three interceptions and returned one of them for a score to go with 81 total tackles. He still has some gas in the tank and hopefully he will get an opportunity to show that he can still be an asset to a team.
